The color was unexpectedly bright - like a green screen.
I got this paint thinking it was closer to a sage shade from what I saw online. I do understand the issues of picking colors online, but was surprised at how bright this ended up being and thought other people should know. It was a waste of money and time for me and I am re-painting another color ASAP. Rating is for the difference in color. It is low odor and goes on the walls well.

Hi Hilary - Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that this color turned out brighter than expected. Colors online may vary from the color you ultimately paint on your project, so it's best to check out the paper swatch or purchase an 8 oz. sample for the most accurate representation of the color. I also recommend checking to see if the color was mixed correctly by comparing the paper swatch for New Bamboo PPU10-04 to the dried paint dab on the lid of your paint can. If they match, the color is correct, and we recommend recoating with a new color. If they don't match up, the color may have been mixed incorrectly, and we recommend recoating with the right color. We'd be happy to assist you with this further. Please feel free to reach out to us directly at your convenience. We hope to hear from you! - Sara Behr

    It was hard to cover the dark paint with this light cream color, but having primer in the paint and a coat of primer also helped with coverage. One coat of primer and two coats of the cream, was worth it. I knew I would be needing a lot of paint for two rooms, so I put primer on first. The eggshell covers well and helps hide blemishes in the wall.

    RUNS DRIPS ERRORS!
    This is the worst paint I've used in 30 years. The "new formula" scuff defense is the worst. It runs and it doesn't cover!!

    Hello Frustrated, we appreciate your feedback. Sorry to hear you didn't get the coverage you were expecting from our paint and that it dripped; that's not the experience we want our customers to have with our products. Our Premium Plus Paint offers great coverage. However, it's not guaranteed to cover in a specific amount of coats. Multiple coats may be needed to achieve your desired coverage. To ensure proper consistency, we recommend stirring your paint for 3-5 minutes before using it. Customer satisfaction is important to us. Please feel free to contact our Customer Care team directly for additional assistance or if you have any questions. Have a great rest of your day. –Joanna Behr

      One coat my foot.
      Marquee One Coat, well it depends on what you are painting! Going over redwood TNG, by my experience at least two coats but probably three to get the actual pure white color. I’ve painted four coats! The first coat had one day dry time.

        I’ve used behr paint with primer, (eggshell) for years and I am pleased with the results. The eggshell paint doesn’t seem to show flaws in the wall as easily as satin or semi-gloss. I covered a dark blue with a pale yellow color which was more difficult to cover. With the eggshell paint, I’ve found that I can wash the walls, if needed, with Mr Clean and water so that the walls don’t need repainted for years. The cleanup after painting is also fairly easy. I did have some runs in the paint, but I think I should have used a different roller.

        Beautiful! Painted my work office this color! I read about colors that increase productivity and found that a Blue-Gray color is not too busy, does not relax you, but helps to keep you focused and productive. Couldn’t love it more!

        Not the same color
        The coverage is decent on this, but the "tinsmith" color is not close to a grey-white like it looks. It looks baby blue on my walls! (See pic - hall and rooms are "tinsmith" but look very very blue) Super disappointed.

        Hi burlesonbrittney, thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear that the color did not turn out as expected. Typically, the lighting and surroundings in the room influence the way the color will turn out. It is a great idea to sample colors first. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance; our customer care team is happy to help you! -Giovanna Behr

            misleading color
            I purchased this color based on photos online but when I get this, it looks more like white, yellowish. Then I painted one spot of the wall, it came out with total GREEN . I don't see any close color (light brown/beige like) as shown online.

            Hi Ari - Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that this color didn't turn out as expected! The color Sweet Jasmine M330-3 is an earthy green shade with a yellow undertone. You may want to check out colors like Canvas Luggage N300-2 or Casual Khaki N300-3 instead which are light brown/beiges shades. For further assistance with this, please feel free to reach out to us directly. We'd be happy to help. - Sara Behr
              Blue undertone
              I purchased this paint with the hopes of having a grey kitchen. It is truly blue in nature. Now I have to re paint

                Never Again!
                I've used Behr paint for decades and always been happy but this one was so thick it was like painting with Elmer's glue. I was going over walls that had a light/shallow, 3 week old layer of professional "orange peel" coating after some drywall repairs and it was so thick it wouldn't fill the valleys. It also dried so slowly that if I tried to go back to touch-up a small area that hadn't covered well, the new paint would drag through the first layer, using brush or roller. I normally have beautiful results but think I'm going to have to choose another paint to go over this again. Oh and the bathroom is less than 150 sq ft and I have a half inch left in the bottom of the can, when it says a gallon should cover 400 sq ft. As I said, never again and next time I'll use a separate quality primer and then color coat it.

                Hello LindaA, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear your paint was thicker than anticipated and didn't cover your surface as expected. Each gallon of our Premium Plus Paint covers about 250-400 Sq. Ft. Keep in mind that more porous or textured surfaces will soak in more paint. To ensure proper paint consistency, we recommend stirring your paint for 3-5 minutes before using it. To ensure proper coverage on a medium to rougher textured surface, such as orange peel walls, we'd recommend using a 3/8" or 3/4" nap roller. Customer satisfaction is important to us. Please feel free to reach out to our Customer Care team directly with any questions you may have or for assistance. Have a great day. -Joanna Behr

                  Great Gray Color
                  We painted our whole main level and upstairs hall in the satin. We liked it so much we painted our basement Winds Breath. It has a more lavender undertone that I really like.

                    Glue like paint...
                    I'm astonished at the number of positive reviews on this paint. It's some of the worst I've EVER used. Goes on like GLUE. You can thin it I guess, but really great paint doesn't need thinning. Coverage is bad, too. Pics are after 2 coats over cream doors. Will now need 3. Spend the extra and buy Benjamin Moore. Sure wish I had.

I understand this must've been disappointing and encourage you to contact Behr's Customer Care Department for further assistance with this matter. We'd love to find a way to help.

                    Kindest regards,

                      Pink room for a 14 year old.
                      After choosing six samples we finally agreed on beloved pink. My home walls are painted with Behr paint. I usually use a marquis but this time I went with premium plus for her bedroom. She really enjoys it and that's what's most important we also used a paint handgun machine for the first time and Behr paint work beautifully here are some photos. Also I forgot to mention that we special Behr ceiling paint for her ceiling.

                        I have a stained, old, stucco chimney(photo 1) and wanted to paint it to match my new vinyl siding. After doing some homework, decided to use Behr Ultra Exterior paint. Was I satisfied? Look at the photo #2. I was very happy. Looks great and hide the stains that were on the stucco. Will buy again. Thanks Behr.... William

                          We have used Behr paint for over 20 years on our personal and rental properties. It holds up to time, easy to clean-up after use, and even after 10 years the walls look great and can be wiped clean. The coverage is great on primered drywall and over a dark paint. I especially like that the toxic smells are not bad at all. The only issue is that it does hold up so long that our house interior and exterior is the same color for 15 years now! Why, repaint if the paint still looks great?

                            Best paint ever
                            I used this Behr paint in my house and found it to cover and blend well. It seemed to glide on and made the job so easy. I wanted to paint an accent wall a shade lighter and went to a competitor to buy the paint. Omg, their brand was “sticky” and required so much effort. I regret not going to Home Depot for that last project. I swear by Behr.
